McNaughton Answers Questions Regarding “Obamanation.”
What do you hope to accomplish?
Someone once said, “there is nothing more irritating than being awaken from a sound sleep”—I hope to wake up a few. If anyone is undecided about voting for Obama, please study the painting, take the challenge, share it with your friends and help us to expose this man and vote him out of office this November.
Are you doing this for the money?
No. I paint what is important to me, but I know there are many who feel the same as I do about Obama. I am a professional artist. I make my living providing a service and I get paid to do it. The vast majority who view my work never pay a nickel. They pass it around on the Internet with their friends or see it on someone’s wall.
This is just propaganda.
It seems funny that when a liberal artist paints a political motif it is called artistic expression, but when a conservative does the same thing critics call it “propaganda.” When I think of propaganda I think of early twentieth century war posters commissioned by the Nazis and Communist regimes. It usually conveys a negative meaning, so I know why my critics like to use it to describe me. But I am not the government! I am simply one individual, a citizen of this country using my first amendment rights to speak out through my art.
Do you think this is art?
What is art? There are many certified art experts who would love to tell you the answer. Their opinions mean little to me because I only paint to satisfy my desire to share a message. For me, art has a way of communicating both thoughts and feelings that words fail to adequately express. If my art causes another to think and to feel, it is a success. I use metaphor and symbol because it leaves more for the viewer to discover, but for the few who choose to take the time to study I have the interactive website where I meticulously explain my images. I paint realistically because it communicates to the broadest audience. I paint political and religious subject because they are close to my heart. Whether someone from the history books could have painted it better means nothing to me. My art is an expression of the times in which I live and people will know how Jon McNaughton felt about being alive at this time in our history.
Is the original for sale?
Yes, and prints are also for sale on the website.

Air Force Capt. Kim Campbell was sent to defend Army troops in the early days of the Iraq War in 2003. After firing on Iraqi Republican Guard troops, Campbell took an epic amount of enemy fire. Both hydraulic systems failed, forcing the pilot to switch to “manual reversion,” a mechanical backup that allows limited flight capability. Campbell kept flying for more than hour, safely returning to Kuwait despite being riddled with hundreds of bullet holes and a massive hole in the right horizontal stabilizer.

Knoebels has two carousels: one small merry-go-round in Kiddieland (added in 1976) which was built by Stein & Goldstein in 1912; and the Grand Carousel, a 1913 carousel built by Kremer Carousel Works in Brooklyn, with a frame by Charles I. D. Looff, (1852-1918), and 63 hand-carved horses by Charles Carmel (1869-1931). It was purchased on January 26, 1942 from Riverside Park in Piscataway, New Jersey for $4,000 (equal to $57,735 today) and relocated to Knoebels. Today, the Knoebels Grand Carousel is now one of the largest carousels in the world, with 63 horses and 3 chariots. It is one of the few carousels remaining with a working ring dispenser, allowing riders on the outside row of horses to reach out and grab steel rings as they pass. The rider who grabs the brass ring receives the cost of the ride in tickets, making the ride free. Three band, or fairground organs provide music for the riders, with the largest one built in Germany in 1888 by Frati and Co, and operating at Knoebels since the year it opened in 1926, 87 years ago. The smallest one is a replica built in 1995 by Gebruder Bruder Co. In the 1920s, the larger organ was converted to artisan roles.

One of the best parts about Knoebel’s is not numerious thrilling rides, like Universal or Six flags, but the fact that it is deeply rooted in history. The family has went out of their way to obtain extremely old rides, & restore them. When such rides can not be obtained, they build them in homage & sometimes provide the only such example in the world, such as the Flying turns trackless “coaster”.

OF course, the Phenox is perhaps the most thrilling coaster in the world. You spend an amazing portion of it out of your seat….

Knoebels Amusement Resort is a family-owned and -operated amusement park, picnic grove, and campground in Elysburg, Pennsylvania. It is and has been America’s largest free admission park for 87 years of operation. Opened in 1926, the park has more than 60 rides, free admission, two wooden roller coasters, a 1913 carousel, and a haunted house dark ride that was featured on the Discovery Channel. The park and its rides have won awards from organizations such as Amusement Today, American Coaster Enthusiasts, and The International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions. In 2014, Travel Channel rated Knoebels number 2 out of their Top 10 Family Friendly Amusement Parks in the country.[1]

Knoebels won the Amusement Today Golden Ticket Award for best amusement park food for 14 consecutive years from 1998 until 2011, but dropped to 2nd place in 2012, narrowly losing to Dollywood,[2] but in 2013, tied for 1st with Dollywood.

Members of these United States armed services get a free ride-band, and dependents get 10 dollars off.

Agreed.

Torture’s a pretty good excuse. It’s why we use it.

With freedom diluted by the patriot act, wars started without merit, and torture applied without trial or representation, this code is demanding more than is merited.
“Those who would sacrifice liberty for security deserve neither.” – B. Franklin

The “Dark Humor” tag is a bad choice, especially since I suspect this was written looong ago.

I always found it interesting in the CofC that 4-of-6 dealt with the subject of becoming captured or being a POW and nothing to do with discrimination on the basis of color, creed, culture, sex or sexual orientation… something I personally found, as well as a great many others, found to be a huge and prevalent part of serving in the military.
Perhaps it was this form of conduct that I was fighting to defend.
Just saying.

“I’ve always been amazed that the very people forced to live in the worst parts of town, those that go to the worst schools and who have it the hardest are always the first to step up to defend that very system. They serve so that we don’t have to.
They offer to give up their lives so that we can be free. It is remarkable, their gift to us.” — Michael Moore (Fahrenheit 9/11)

Michael Moore lies; middle class white kids make up the vast majority of combat troops and casualties. As an example in Iraq about 75% of all casualties were white and less than 10% were black. Moore doesn’t put it in racial terms but we know that is what he tried to imply.

Michael Moore is one of the biggest hypocrites around.

Mr. Moore wasn’t saying anything about race… he clearly states, “the very people forced to live in the worst parts of town, those that go to the worst schools and who have it the hardest are always the first to step up to defend that very system.” If you want to believe he implied something else – I’m sure convincing you otherwise would be a dead-end argument.
I claimed it was “color, creed, culture, sex or sexual orientation”.
I fully agree, 75% of all casualties were white – absolutely; a great vast of them poor white, poorly educated and few with a great many monetary options for a “free ride” to higher education or a career.
I mean no offense by this – I took advantage of this same twisted system of “guarding the rich man and their son’s freedom”.

From Granny Smith and Golden Delicious to Brownlees Russet and Wadhurst Pippin, if you like apples then Paul Barnett is your man.

He has 250 varieties available to pick – and astonishingly, they’re all growing on just one tree.

The horticulturist has spent 24 years meticulously developing the tree in his back garden in Chidham, near Chichester, West Sussex, grafting on new varieties every winter.

The tree’s fruits now include rare cooking apples such as the Withington Fillbasket, which originated in 1883, and Eady’s Magnum, from 1908, as well as more recognisable favourites.

Mr Barnett, 40, said yesterday: ‘I started working at a nursery with acres of land and around 90 varieties of apple trees in rows.

‘I wanted to grow my own trees but I didn’t have the area to plant that number so I started a “family tree” where I can have all the different varieties in a smaller amount of space. I add to it each year by budding in the summer and grafting in the winter.’

Why they spraying the buildings and stuff with ice??? Icing? Someone’s Birthday?

I remember a fire like this years ago outside of Boston (just as cold & windy then, too, which they get less of than Chicago.) Not only did the wind spread the fire across half a block before they got in under control, all the icicles the spray created were pointing sideways.

Santos Laguna defender Felipe Baloy is more than happy to pose with fans of all ages, even if he just stopped off to buy the newest issue of Playboy. And when a young fan in Velcro shoes and a full Santos kit wanted a picture with Baloy, the Panamanian international kindly knelt down, smiled and accidentally held his transparent bag containing the Playboy in for the picture.

Of course, there was no harm done and it was very nice of Baloy to make a young fan’s day by stopping and smiling for the shot, but the child will probably appreciate the amusing photo even more when he’s a little older.

Currently in first place in the Mexican Clausura, Santos plays Club America at the Estadio Azteca on Saturday before playing Monterrey in the first leg of the CONCACAF Champions League final next week. And the accommodating Baloy clearly has his reading material ready for the difficult stretch ahead.

Strangely enough, that has become actually true. Since it’s so easy to find free porn on the internet there’s no longer any point in buying a Playboy other than its articles.

Very true. Playboy had a great article on the racism of “gun control,” and how is systemically disarms the minority population in America, leaving law abiding minority citizens unprotected from the criminal element (and corrupt law enforcement) . The White population, tends to gravitate to more rural and suburban areas, which often have little or no gun control.

It was an interesting perspective, considering how liberal Playboy normally is. Not sure what issue. Would love to know….

Without talking about the many dysfunctional issues of the Dept. Real shame about what happened.

A man sat at a metro station in Washington DC and started to play the violin; it was a cold January morning. He played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time, since it was rush hour, it was calculated that 1,100 people went through the station, most of them on their way to work.

Three minutes went by, and a middle aged man noticed there was musician playing. He slowed his pace, and stopped for a few seconds, and then hurried up to meet his schedule.

A minute later, the violinist received his first dollar tip: a woman threw the money in the till and without stopping, and continued to walk.

A few minutes later, someone leaned against the wall to listen to him, but the man looked at his watch and started to walk again. Clearly he was late for work.

The one who paid the most attention was a 3 year old boy. His mother tagged him along, hurried, but the kid stopped to look at the violinist. Finally, the mother pushed hard, and the child continued to walk, turning his head all the time. This action was repeated by several other children. All the parents, without exception, forced them to move on.

In the 45 minutes the musician played, only 6 people stopped and stayed for a while. About 20 gave him money, but continued to walk their normal pace. He collected $32. When he finished playing and silence took over, no one noticed it. No one applauded, nor was there any recognition.

No one knew this, but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the most talented musicians in the world. He had just played one of the most intricate pieces ever written, on a violin worth $3.5 million dollars.

Two days before his playing in the subway, Joshua Bell sold out at a theater in Boston where the seats averaged $100.

This is a real story. Joshua Bell playing incognito in the metro station was organized by the Washington Post as part of a social experiment about perception, taste, and priorities of people. The outlines were: in a commonplace environment at an inappropriate hour: Do we perceive beauty? Do we stop to appreciate it? Do we recognize the talent in an unexpected context?

One of the possible conclusions from this experience could be:

If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world playing the best music ever written, how many other things are we missing?

10 Responses to To Busy?

Interesting idea & experiment, but waaaaay too much text for M[c]R. I expected the story to end with him dying and someone saying, “I meant to say I will love you FIVE-ever, which means I love you more than FOUR-ever.”

Next time cut to the chase then link the article.

We are missing an awful lot, but the key here is “inappropriate hour”.

You listen to music when you have a chance to relax, when you CAN. Not when others want you to. While even on your demanding schedule at work you can appreciate simple things coming from headphones, for most things there’s a time, a place and a method to accommodate said time and space. This place is a highway, it seldom slows down and the only way to appreciate something like a violin on there is to stop and listen.

And yes I get the idea that this doesn’t apply to just music but everything around us, I doubt everyone appreciates every single thing surrounding them and/or takes the time to really contemplate each and every little thing without being a hobo, a hippie or being on a permanent trip with no real obligations.

Yet I agree that it’s sad that our lives are determined by being in a hurry most of the time.

More likely conclusion: subway stations are a rubbish place to busk.

Too, two, to. Three different words, with three appropriate use cases.

It’s kind of a lousy experiment. he might of well of been playing on the highway. If you chose a different venue, ie a street corner on a saturday afternoon, you would get alot more people to stop and appreciate when they arent rushed. It isn’t really about being busy, but when you get up in the morning, you dont plan to account 5 minutes to appreciate art. and the subway schedule sure as hell isn’t going to accomodate for that either.

Playing whilst many were on their way to their jobs, “it was a cold January morning”, would never prove much. Had this same infamous violinist played for that same amount of time in the same location when people were leaving work or on their way home… I believe this experiment would have ended differently.

Here in London, there are tons of buskers and if someone has some real talent worth listening to – I’ll stop and listen. BUT, if I’m on my way to my job, I don’t care who’s playing, can’t go to his/her concert if I don’t have a job.

Bush fucked over the Constitution more than Obama.

We’re going to have Military UAV’s flying over civilian areas soon, Obama wins the Constitution fucking contest.
Obama had two years with a Democratic congress and didn’t undo a damn thing Bush put in place. Keep blaming the guy that started it, but start blaming the guy that was supposed to fix it also.

just for your information the predator drones or as you put in COD terms “UAV” were put into action over civilian areas back in 2000 in other countrys and even in “high suspect area’s” with in the United states.
Bush also is wanted by the hieg(German court system who carry out charges of war crimes(UN appointed after WW2) ) and they are trying to extradite him to be brought up on his charges. Does no one watch world news because GWB is not allowed out side of the untied states because of the fact of unwarented war and infringement of the Geneva convention. he also had illegal wire taps. did i mention that on BBC they have all ready shown footage of mercenaries hired by halliburton shooting in to trucks full of young women and children… and oh my god the hieg is also trying GWB for that as well since his family just happens to be in partial control of the company…. mhm since Mr. bush was such a good president why is he wanted around the world isnt that crazy xD people like you should learn some facts befor you go ahead and shoot your mouth. your not smart allright because of bush and his dumb ass friends in office the US’s dept tripled in only 2 years isnt that crazy.. now go stick a shotgun in your mouth and blow your head off

Holy fuck you’re stupid.

Bush isn’t allowed outside the US? Are you fucking retarded? He’s barely in the US. He was just in Africa ffs checking on all THE WORK HE DID TO COMBAT THE AIDS EPIDEMIC THERE.

And ‘just for your information’ (which made you sound like a faggot btw) there are no drones flying over any first world nations.

Did I mention your BBC story is complete bullshit?

Take your fucking meds. Your impartial media with it’s irresponsible left leanings has fucked your brain in its ass.

Why should the poster before you “learn facts” or in fact how can he when you’re completely making everything up out of your busted little brain?

Do you even know what the Geneva Convention is?

George Bush isn’t wanted by anyone other than sensible Americans who would like to see him back in power or really anyone other than president affirmative action that’s fucking things up for you right now.

Grow up. Get a therapist. But mostly fuck off.

I’m not defending Bush or Obama, they BOTH are responsible. At At what point did I say Bush was a good president?
Obama hasn’t done shit to stop it. Bush did a lot of things wrong, but Obama went in on the promise to correct it. Letting something like this happen when he has the power to stop it is just as wrong as ordering it to be done.
Do you have a link to your BBC article? There is NOTHING that matches what your saying on their site.
What the fuck is the haig??? Are you referring to the Hauge?
Your so busy attacking one guy that you can’t see the wrong the other guy is doing. If can’t spell or read properly before you comment you should take your own last line of advice.

thats because moron liberal devotees on this site see in absolutes.. like the Sith.. if you’re not with us, then you’re against us. if you say anything mildly close to being anti-obama then you’re automatically a tea partier, ultra-con, or o’reilly follower and fox news watcher. liberals are a disease. now i’m gonna be labeled an ultra-con even though i hate both sides. but i hate the liberals much much more for that particular reason.

Yeah because you know what it’s like to be president of the United States and how easy it is to fix 8 years of shit in 4 years.

Then why the fuck did he run if he couldn’t fix anything?

derp

Except for the guy on the bench, everyone depicted is/was a President and/or Founding Father. The Constitution is where it is because the artist wanted to show Obama stepping on it. There’s room for a few more past Presidents to put a foot on it, wonder why he didn’t depict that since more then one of them has done so.
Another thing to note, if you look at the various Presidents, you’ll see that Republicans are looking toward “the Forgotten Man” while several Democrats are clearly looking away. So I doubt this is unbiased. I have no idea why Clinton, Johnson and Teddy are clapping.

Two things:
This is about as “Symbolic” as a South Park Episode. This is a political cartoon that took longer to create.
More importantly, however, is that this artist missed the best possible moment for Sad Keanu. Unacceptable.

Of course the whole country would fall apart very very quickly but what do you care? As long as your white guilt is alleviated.

Congrats American media. You really have fucked a lot of people up.

I’ve been reading all of your comments in Donald Duck’s voice. It actually lends you a bit of credibility.
Upon review, even you must agree that your first sentence here is retarded, regardless of your political or racial opinions.

Even you must be able to understand just how much sense that sentence makes. Though since you’re one of the people described it’s not surprising that you won’t accept that.

Jane, you ignorant slut.
The fact that someone has inspired loyalty does not make them a fascist.
I’m actually not “one of those people.” I voted for Obama, but not because I “believed in change”(for the same reason I didn’t believe that the 6th grade class president was going to put chocolate milk in the drinking fountains) but because he was the better *politician.*
I don’t amble into these little chats with your dumb ass because I feel a need to white knight for a fucking world leader. I’m just not that invested.
I talk shit to you because you speak from a flawed position, nearly every time you open your mouth. And I apologize- I meant Daffy Duck earlier. Donald is too hard to keep in a running dialog.

then you get what you deserve. fucking dumbass. just wait and see what your barry will do to you and your country.

You just admitted you have no point after that much desperate reaching and an initial attempt at making a point.

You voted for Obama because he was the better politician? Meaning you admit he worked the race card on you and your stupid ass fell for it and now you are at least in part to blame for your own misery.

The fact that someone has brainwashed little turds like you IS fascist. Or are you under the impression the dictating comes first?

You can imagine my voice any way you want but I’ll bet good money you have an actual speech impediment possibly caused by your possible autism.

Amble out of your own asshole.

You made a spelling mistake in the original post: “To fully understand this, please see the above link.” should actually read: “To fully understand this, please stick a knitting needle into your left ear canal and keep pushing until it comes out the other side.”

You’re welcome.

Yes, I feel so sorry for the victim here, the true victim – The poor, downtrodden White Male. Why is Obama not helping him? He is such a sorry son of a bitch, rendered useless by the potency of the Socialist Black Kenyan Brotherhood. He should have never cuckolded with his wife…

Just went to see it today. Was amazing, the acting is great. They really get the period down, ALOT of attention to detail. Worth going to see.

Academy Award® Winner Geoffrey Rush (Shine) stars as Logue, the man who helps the King find a voice with which to lead the nation into war.

Also: inB4 “King is just a powerless figurehead” shitstorm.

I have to say I can not agree, this is IMHO the best film of the year.

The only disappointing thing was Churchill. They should have found an actor that could play him, and they should have researched him (at all). Churchill was an unapologizing monarchist, and backed his brother to the hilt.

Best thing about that movie was Helena Bonham Carter. Damn son, she just keeps getting finer and finer.

Saw it over the weekend, it was fantastic. Geoffrey Rush is just badass.

Also, an excellent reminder of why the ratings system is fucking idiotic. Because we can’t let children see an inspirational movie like this because someone says fuck a handful of times, but it’s fine if they want to go see Little Fockers, because it only *sounds* like they’re saying fuck.
